Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the continuous casting of metals, especially steel, for use in a solidified-bending method. Said device comprises, downstream of the continuous casting mold, a straight strand guide (1) and a bending device (3) that releases the cast strand path (2 a) so that the cold strand (5) can be introduced. The object of the invention is to utilize the height of the device that has so far not been used for supporting the strand or to reduce the height of the entire installation. To this end, the bending device (3) comprises a folding segment (9) that is pivoted on the fixed side (1 a) and that is provided with a row of rollers (10) that limit the bending path (3 c) in the operational position. The bending device further comprises on the loose side (1 b) a loose element (11) that can be swiveled into the operational position (3 b) or that can be swiveled out from this position. The bending rollers (3 a) of said loose element form the counter-rollers (3 d) to the row of rollers (10) in the operational position (3 b).

Description

  • The invention relates to a device for continuous casting of metals, in particular, steel, for use in a solidified bending process and including a vertical strand guide located downstream of a continuous casting mold, a bending driver adjoining the strand guide and bending rollers of which reciprocate between a cold strand path-releasing position and an operational position, a bending device for separating a cold strand from a hot strand and for guiding the hot strand along a radius to a following straightening driver, and at least one, lower-lying drive roller pair for inserting or withdrawing the cold strand. [0001]
  • The device described above is disclosed in DE 196 37 545 A1. There, a device for diverting a thin slab, which is cast in a continuous casting mold, from a vertical in a horizontal direction with the listed features, is described. With such CSP-casting machines, the strand guide is formed as a vertical part. This provides a number of advantages. Beneath the strand guide, which adjoins the continuous casting mold, there is arranged a bending driver that performs the functions of “driving hot and cold strand” and bending of a solidified hot strand in a radius. The radius varies between 3000 and 3250 mm in many generations of CSP-casting machines. [0002]
  • The bending driver with the radius require a height of about 4,000 mm. This height and an associated strand path, up to the present, have not been used in a strand guide. [0003]
  • An object of the present invention is to utilize the height, which up to the present has not been used, for guiding the strand or to reduce the total height. [0004]
  • The object of the invention is achieved according to the invention, based on the device described above, by providing a bending driver consisting, on one hand, of a folding segment pivotally supported on a fixed side and provided with a row of rollers which limit a bending path in an operational position and, on the other hand, of a loose element displaceable or pivotable, on a loose side, into an out of the operational position and bending rollers of which form, respectively, in the operational position, counter-rollers to rollers of the roller row. [0005]
  • Thereby, not only all of the functions of a conventional bending driver are performed, while retaining a cold strand system of a straight cold strand that has proved itself but, in addition, an increased strand support length is obtained due to the segmented construction and addition of guide rollers. Moreover, the production output can be noticeably increased. Further, the existing CSP-plants can be easily modified with little costs as the existing base elements can be used. The folding segment can be formed as a vertical segment as all other strand guide segments. [0006]
  • According to further features of the invention, in order to limit the path of the introduction of the cold strand the folding segment, which is located on the fixed side, is supported on an above-located pivot axle and is connected with a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit, which is located opposite the pivot axle, for displacement in and out of the operational position. [0007]
  • The path of the cold strand is further limited by the adjustable loose element which is displaced into and out of the operational position with paired, extending parallel to each other, piston-cylinder units. [0008]
  • A further improvement consists in that in the region of the vertical strand guide, on the fixed side, there is provided a base frame which supports the piston-cylinder unit for the folding segment. Thereby, the hydraulic cylinder can be supported on a base. [0009]
  • Also, a heat protection can be provided, with the base frame being provided, on its side facing the vertical strand guide, with water-cooled bolster plates. [0010]
  • The separation of the strand guide into a folding segment and a loose element is favorably influenced by displacement of the loose element in a free space with respect to the hot strand for overbending, i.e., for separating the hot strand from the cold strand. [0011]
  • The opening width for the cold strand can further be widened, with a longer strand guide, by providing in the folding segment, according to an alternative proposition, of a segment element which reciprocates on the folding segment transverse to a direction of the cast strand. [0012]
  • Further function can be obtained by providing on the folding segment, remotely from the cast strand path, a projection with which the piston cylinder unit for pivoting the folding segment is connected. [0013]
  • According to further features, the displaceable, in the folding segment, segment element is provided with its own displacement drive. [0014]
  • In order to further lengthen the strand guide and thereby to reduce the plant height, it is proposed to arrange in a strand displacement direction, behind the folding segment and in front of the straightening driver, a circular strand guide segment. [0015]
  • With a corresponding height of the plant, the strand guide can further be lengthened by arranging in the strand displacement direction, in front of the folding segment, an additional vertical element. [0016]
  • According to another arrangement of the folding segment, the folding segment is arranged on the frame of the drive roller pair for the cold strand and is vertically extended. [0017]
  • A further advantage consists in that the piston-cylinder units of the loose element, in connection with a following liquid core reduction, are hydraulically controlled.[0018]
  • The embodiments of the invention, which are shown in the drawings, will be described in detail below. [0019]
  • The drawings show: [0020]
  • FIG. 1 a side view of a continuous casting device upon insertion of a cold strand; [0021]
  • FIG. 2 the same side view upon separation of the hot strand from the cold strand; [0022]
  • FIG. 3 the same side view upon setting of loose elements in an operational position; [0023]
  • FIG. 4 the side view of the continuously casting device with a continuously operating straightening driver; [0024]
  • FIG. 5 a side view of an alternative embodiment of a continuous casting device and in which the folding segment includes a segment element lying outside of an operational position upon insertion of a cold strand; [0025]
  • FIG. 6 the same side view upon separation of the hot strand from the cold strand; [0026]
  • FIG. 7 the same side view with the folding segment, segment element, and a loose element being in an operational position; and [0027]
  • FIG. 8 a side view of the continuously casting device, with folding segment and the segment element in an operational position and with a continuously operated straightening driver.[0028]
  • The device for continuous casting of metal, in particular steel, is used in a solidified-bending process at which a [0029] hot strand 2 solidifies upon passing through a vertical, straight strand guide 1 arranged downstream of an end of a continuously casting mold. A bending driver 3 adjoins the straight strand guide 1. The bending driver 3 has bending rollers 3 a that move from a position in which they release the cold strand path 4, into an operational position and back. Besides, there is provided a bending device for separating a hot strand 2 from a cold strand 5. The bending driver 3 guides the hot strand after separation along a radius 6 in a straightening driver 7. A located downstream, drive roll pair 8 serves for insertion or withdrawal of the cold strand 5.
  • As shown in FIG. 1, the [0030] bending driver 3 includes folding segment 9 pivotally supported on a fixed side 1 a and provided with a row of 10 rollers which limit the bending path 3 c in the operational position 3 b (FIG. 3). Opposite the folding segment 9, on the loose side 1 b, there is provided a loose element 11 pivotable in and out of the operational position 3 b and the bending rollers 3 a of which form, respectively, counter-rollers 3 d to the separate rollers of the row 10 in the operational position 3 b.
  • The [0031] folding segment 9, which is provided on the fixed side 1 a, is pivotally supported on an axle 12 in the upper portion thereof. Opposite the pivot axle 12, at least one hydraulic piston-cylinder unit 13 is connected to the folding segment 9 for displacing it into and out of the operational position 3 b.
  • Opposite the [0032] folding segment 9, on a loose side 1 b, there is provided an adjustable loose element 11 adjustable with paired, arranged parallel to each other, piston-cylinder units 14.
  • In the [0033] region 15 of the vertical strand guide 1, on the fixed side 1 a, there is provided a base frame 16 that supports the piston-cylinder unit 13 for the folding segment 9.
  • The [0034] base frame 16 is provided, at least on its side facing the vertical strand guide 1, with water-cooled bolster plate 17.
  • The loose element [0035] 11 (FIG. 2) is adjustable in a free space 18 to provide for its overbending, i.e., for separating the hot strand 2 from the cold strand 5.
  • FIG. 3 shows the [0036] folding segment 9 and the loose element 11 in the operational position 3 b, with the cold strand 5 being lowered and the hot strand 2 being movable into the straightening driver 7.
  • In the operational position shown in FIG. 4, the [0037] hot strand 2 is continuously guided through the bending driver 3 and past an outer roller of a drive roller pair into the straightening driver 7.
  • The alternative embodiment with the otherwise the same functions and processes is shown in FIGS. [0038] 5-8.
  • Within the [0039] pivotal folding segment 9, a segment element 18 reciprocates in guides of the folding segment 9 transverse to the continuous casting path 2 a (FIG. 5). Thereby, an even larger opening width for passing of the cold strand 5 is formed, whereby the strand guide, i.e., the number of rollers in the roller row 10 can be increased. The folding segment becomes even longer. Remotely from the cast strand path 2 a, a projection 19 is provided on the folding segment 9 with which the piston-cylinder unit 13 for pivoting the folding segment 9 is connected. A segment element 18, which displaces within the folding segment 9, is equipped with its own displacement drive 20.
  • The entire strand guide can further be lengthened. To this end, behind the [0040] folding segment 9, in the direction of movement of the strand 21, and in front of the straightening driver 7, there is arranged a circular strand guide segment 22. The strand guide becomes even longer further down by using the space that has not been used previously, so that the entire length can further be reduced.
  • An additional lengthening of the strand support in the [0041] strand movement direction 21 can be achieved by providing a vertical section 23 upstream of the folding segment 9.
  • The [0042] folding segment 9 can also be supported on a frame 24 of the drive roller pair 8 for the cold strand and, thus, be extended.
  • Finally, the piston-[0043] cylinder unit 14 of the loose element 11 in connection with the following LCT (liquid-core-reduction) is hydraulically controlled.
